Short while
—it's all we have been given
and I spent it away on
open seas and damaging lies
until you withdrew your ship
to sail for another ocean

Should I swim back to you
when you have made
the decision to leave?
Sadly, the seas are unforgiving
of hearts torn by distance
and the silence of the winds

No, love, I won't cross oceans
and back nor worlds and back
just for you
Short while
—it's all we have been given
and I'f spend it living the time
I have left than chasing
the one thing that
—in the first place—
didn't want me
